GENERAL FOOD INFORMATION.
In the U. S. diet,
foods are not as highly seasoned with spices
and he rbs as they are
in many parts of the world.
Visitors may find
meat dishes of all kinds have more
flavor
if extra
seasonings
are
added at the table.
Several
sauces
are served
free at most eating
places
if you ask for them.
These are soy sauce,
catsup,
chili sauce,
mustard,
meat
sauces,
and "hot"
(highly seasoned)
sauce or
"Tabasco."
Many students
like to carry
a small bottle of Tabasco
sauce
for use at their meals.
All American
restaurants
serve white bread and potatoes with
meals.
Potatoes,
cooked in many ways,
replace
rice which is com-
mon in many other
countries.
Breakfast
in the United States varies
from one cup of coffee and
a slice of toasted bread
to a full-sized meal.
Lunch
is eaten at noon
and is often a lighter meal
than dinner.
Dinner
is served usually
from 6 to 8 p. m.
Sometimes
the evening meal
is called supper,
and
the big meal of the day (dinner) will be served at noon.
The lunch
period
is usually one hour in the middle of the day, and employees'
lunchtime
is arranged
so that all offices and stores
remain
open
through
the working day.
In many businesses,
a "coffee break"
(which often includes
a
"snack")
is the custom in the morning and afternoon.
Employees may
